To help whisky drinkers to embrace more spontaneous moments this summer, Fireball came up with the Stash Flask—a lightweight, flexible, resealable 200ml pouch that holds up to four shots of Fireball Cinnamon Whisky.
To show off the best features of the Stash Flask, and tap into sneaker culture, Fireball created Fireball Sneaks. Specifically designed to take the Stash Flask to go, these high-top sneakers have a tongue that unzips to reveal a pocket. "Hype around discovery and the element of surprise inspired the Stash Flask and our Sneaks," said Danny Suich, Senior Global Brand Director for Fireball. "We're celebrating the unplanned moments that turn a casual hang into something bigger, from backyard kickbacks to plans that go off script."
Fireball Sneaks bundles drop in July, each including a pair of Fireball Sneaks, one 66-proof Fireball Cinnamon Whisky Stash Flask, an extra pair of Fireball yellow laces, and a custom Fireball drawstring shoe bag.
